Conley Outreach seeks bell ringers for holiday season

Conley Outreach Community Services is seeking bell ringers for the holiday season in western Kane County.

Carol Werdin Alfrey, executive director of the organization, said the group has been setting up bell ringing for about a decade in front of several locations in the Kaneland area, which includes Sugar Grove, Elburn, Kaneville, Maple Park, Virgil and Big Rock.

Werdin Alfrey said because the Kaneland area falls outside of the nearby Salvation Army Corps boundaries, nonprofit organizations such as Conley Outreach pick up bell-ringing services in those areas.

Last year, bell ringers helped raise more than $4,600, which remains local, she said.
